Family Law

Family law encompasses many issues that face individuals and families, from property settlements, spousal maintenance, non-marital interests, to child custody and support, to third party custody and adoption matters. At Mundahl Law, we believe in working with individuals to find the best possible yet practical solution to their legal needs. Rather than create contention, we look toward a collaborative process. Where such a process is inadvisable, we advocate for our clients diligently and forcefully.

When working with parents with minor children we wholeheartedly believe that the best interests of the children are paramount in every situation. We work with parents who want to be sure that their children are thought of first and foremost. Our believe is that children need both parents in their life, that they deserve a safe and stable home environment and that parenting plans should be practical and child centered.

Our attorneys have specific areas of focus within Family Law in order to best represent you. For more information on each specific area, please click on the following links.
